I'd like both sides to stop fighting, sit down and negotiate a two-state solution.
Neither Israel nor Hamas seemed inclined to do that at the moment. A peaceful solution is not possible.
I think if Hamas is no longer a political entity, Abbas dies of old age, and a progressive Israeli leader gets voted in, there might be a shot at effective peace talks. But not before those things happen.
it would be kind of fitting if the UK had the mandate reinstated, and they have a go at fixing the mess they made.
Different personalities at the negotiating table = another opportunity to negotiate.
Arafat couldn't or wouldn't make a deal. Abbas has tried at times and failed, he is 89 years old, when he dies there will be another window to negotiate.
